Sound waves are longitudinal waves. The height or intensity of the wave shows its amplitude, or the energy in the wave. In the diagram of a sound wave, the section labeled B shows the area of the sound wave with the

least amplitude and compression

least amplitude and rarefaction

Mechanical (sound) waves are unable to travel through a vacuum, such as through space, but radio waves are transmitted to Earth from satellites. How is this possible?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves

Satellites are located within our atmosphere

Radio waves are very high energy mechanical waves

radio waves are changed to gamma rays for transmission

A boat moves up and down as water waves pass under the boat. If the amplitude of the wave gets bigger, then

the boat will not rise up as high

the boat will go up and down more often

the boat will continue to move the same way

If you put a pencil in a cup of water, it looks as if it is bent and larger in the water. This is because waves

change direction when they change mediums

are absorbed instead of reflected

bend around a barrier, like light does

Which BEST explains why people see bananas as yellow?

The bananas reflect yellow light

The bananas absorb yellow light from the sun

yellow light changes direction when it hits the bananas

the bananas are opague and do not allow yellow light through

We can see the objects only when:

Reflected light from the object reaches our eye.

The objects absorb all the light.

When the objects allow all the light to pass through them.

The answer is most amplitude and compression. Compressions in a sound wave are when vibrating particles are close together. Amplitude is a measure of the energy of the wave.

Sound waves are mechanical waves in which the particles in the medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport. Identify another name for this type of wave motion.

In a _ wave, vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion. In a _ wave, vibrations are parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
